Terrorist Financing in West and Central Africa (October 2016)

Executive Summary
Terrorism is of growing concern for the international community which, in the recent past, has witnessed an increasing number of attacks at the hands of terrorist groups. West and Central Africa are particularly vulnerable to terrorism. The continuing violence and conflict in this area since 2010 has sparked concerns that the threats from terrorism could derail hard-won economic gains, contribute to political instability and undermine future development. Communities in these areas have experienced the devastating impact of extremist violence from a multiplicity of terrorist groups. However, as we have experiencedwith ISIL, in a more globalised world, the threats from a regional conflict can spread to impact the global community. The regional and potentially global impacts of terrorism, highlights the importance of the international community taking all necessary steps to find ways to deprive terrorist organisations of their funding.

Terrorist organisations are all different in their nature and purpose but they all require resources for self-maintenance, facilitation and funding of various types of attacks. Terrorist financing (TF) may encompass complex financing structures used to conduct. The complete report of this publication is available for download in PDF format click to download

Global Agenda Council on Cybersecurity

Executive Summary
Fuelled by billions of users and endless new internet of things devices, we are in the midst of an explosion of hyperconnectivity. This means attackers can now disrupt more people through more devices, and each year there are more breaches, more affected companies and users, and more damage. It is increasingly clear that no one is immune from cyberattacks.
For this reason, it is imperative that the public and private sectors balance and prioritize the limited resources available to address cybersecurity challenges. Too often, cultural and financial pressures encourage devaluing investments in cybersecurity. Before those pressures can change, the public and private sectors must better understand the tensions that make it difficult to fully embrace cybersecurity best practices, as well as the obstacles to effective collaboration.

Information and Tips

Public wi-fis are vulnerable to hacking and impersonation. Take care and avoid making card payments or logging into sensitive apps such as mobile banking when on public wi-fi.

The elderly and vulnerable can be particularly susceptible to fraudsters. Call them on the phone or drop by to chat to them about ways they could be targeted, and keep an eye out for any suspicious correspondence or activity.

Emails that contain links can contain malware or lead you to fake sites to capture your financial and personal details; visit websites independently instead.

Ads can contain malware. Take extra care!

If you run your life from your mobile phone or laptop, then so could a fraudster. Buy yourself time if your device gets lost or stolen by protecting it with a password or PIN (and no, not 1234 or 0000!)

Beware of fake jobs advertised online. If you’re asked to pay for security checks or expensive training upfront, it’s probably a scam. And if the job involves letting money be transferred through your account, then you could be a money mule – which is illegal.

Shopping online? Look for signs of a secure and encrypted connection on a website. There should be a padlock to the left of the website address. Click on it to see details of the verification, certification validity and the encryption connection.

No legitimate organization – including your bank , will ever ask you to disclose PIN numbers or other security details in full, transfer cash to a ‘safe’ account or withdraw cash for anti-fraud purposes.

Lost your wallet or had important documents stolen, or think your details have been compromised on a fake site? Report to the nearest Police station.

Keep your passwords complex by picking three random words and add or split them with symbols, numbers and capitals: e.g. ChandElier54%

Install anti-virus software on your laptop and any other personal devices and then keep it up to date.
